A friend of mine passed me a link to the Cocoon Grid-It organizers and I was extremely impressed by the clever design. It is sold as an organizer for laptop bags, messenger bags, briefcases, luggage, and the like, however I think it would make a great organizer for an EDC bag. I could even see it holding magazines for a truck gun in a Bug Out Bag. There are several sizes available and the prices seem pretty reasonable to me.

Global Tactical Thunder Bolt
Global Tactical has been selling an excellent bolt carrier group (BCG) called the Super Duty Bolt for years now. I have been very pleased with the one that I have in my range/training rifle. It is in excellent bolt that meets or exceeds mil-spec. The Super Duty Bolts were basically hand built by Global Tactical. Now Global Tactical has found a manufacturer who will make BCGs to their specs. This will help keep costs down which is good news for consumers.
The new BCG is called the Thunder Bolt. Check it out at Global Tactical.
Lancer L15 Lower Receiver
Lancer, the folks who make the excellent Lancer L5 magazines, are now bringing to market a new lower receiver for the AR-15 family of weapons. It has a pretty unique feature – interchangeable magazine wells.
The modular magazine wells will allow the user to tailor the size of the magazine opening to their preference. There will be three sizes: Competition (largest), Tactical (medium), and Standard (similar to standard lower). The lowers will be sold in various package deals ranging from stripped to premium with high ends stocks, grips, and triggers.
It will be interesting to see if these take off considering that they are not inexpensive and the functionality may be over-kill for most users. Still, it is exciting to see innovative manufacturers like Lancer continuing to press the limits of the AR-15 platform.
